The research aims to understand, from the point of view of the preceptor, the practices of integration teaching-service-community experienced during the training in the Dentistry program. It is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study using the focal group technique. From the analysis of the data emerged four thematic categories: the construction of the identity of the preceptor of the Dentistry program; the preceptorship and its polysemy; the Family Health Strategy as a field of practice; and potentialities and weaknesses in teaching-service-community integration. The preceptors acknowledge the contributions of the teaching-service-community integration for the training in the Dentistry program. The role of the preceptor was pointed out as the facilitator of learning, who in exercising his function also experiences a constant theoretical update. The construction of the identity of the preceptors is realized as an unfinished process and strategies are pointed out so that the desired changes in the formation in Dentistry can be realized. The Family Health Strategy was realized as a field of practices that allows students to realize in reality how the system works. Potentialities were cited in the integration of the academics with Primary Health Care, such as the contact with the teaching staff and the occurrence of formative moments. However, greater efforts are needed throughout the academic environment, and greater involvement of management in stimulating pedagogical experiences consistent with the health needs of the country. The theme addressed in the present research opens the possibility for other studies in different institutions of higher education in the country that contribute to the understanding of the contributions of the teaching-service-community integration for the training in Dentistry.

O Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático (ART) é uma abordagem contemporâneapara o controle da cárie dentária na qual a remoção do tecido cariado é realizada com instrumentos manuais e o dente restaurado com cimento de ionômero de vidro (CIV) de alta viscosidade. Talvez por desconhecimento, muitos profissionais questionam a efetividade da técnica e o fato do procedimento restaurador ser considerado definitivo. Objetivos: (1) Avaliar o conhecimento e a conduta dos cirurgiões-dentistas (CD) que atuam na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) sobre o uso do ART; (2) Capacitar os CD para realizar o ART no âmbito da saúde da família; (3)Avaliar o desempenho clinico de um CIV convencional indicado para ARTem dentes decíduos e (4) Avaliar o alcance da técnica ART na resoluçãodas necessidades restauradoras de pré-escolares. Métodos: Pesquisa foidesenvolvida em duas fases: 1ª Pesquisa transversal com todos os CD dazona urbana de Teresina, Piauí. 2ª. Ensaio clínico controlado realizado empré-escolares de creches municipais. Resultados: 1ª. fase: O conhecimentodos profissionais sobre ART foi mensurado e a maioria apresenta informaçõescorretas. O nível de conhecimento teve associação significativa com a faixa etária (p=0,0005) e tempo de formado (p=0,0112). Os CD foram treinados para execução do ART em seis oficinas teórico-práticas. 2ª. fase: dados enviados para publicação. Conclusões: A maioria dos cirurgiões-dentistas da ESF de Teresina, Piauí possui bom conhecimento e conduta positiva em relação ao ART, mas necessita de aprimoramento com relação à técnica e sua correta indicação.

Objective To evaluate the knowledge and conduct of dentists of the Public Health System (Family Health Strategy – FHS) regarding Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). Material and method A census survey was conducted and all FHS dentists from the urban area of the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil were visited in their workplaces and invited to participate in this study. Data collection was carried out between July and October, 2014 through self-administered questionnaires. For statistical analysis the chi-square test with a significance level of 5% and the linear association test were applied. Result One hundred and eighty-three professionals participated in the study (with a response rate of 89.7%), mostly women (71.0%), aged twenty to thirty-nine years (49.2%), with twenty or more years’ experience since graduation (45.9%), working only in the public service (70.5%), and with expertise in the clinical area (44.3%). Most of them believe in ART (82.7%) and 95.8% of them apply it (of those, 58.9% apply it only in public service). The professionals’ individual knowledge of ART was measured and most of them have correct information regarding the treatment. The knowledge level evaluation was significantly associated with age and time since graduation (p

Sapajus libidinosus is a species of primates, popularly known as capuchin monkey. The oral cavity of the monkeys may have pathogenic microbiota for human. Therefore, the study of the microbiota of these species is of great interest in unique health. The objective of the present article was to carry out a survey of the oral microbiota of Sapajus libidinosus, kept in captivity, in the Zoobotanical Park of Teresina (PI, Brazil). Ten chemically immobilized primates were used. Samples were collected from the oral mucosa along the maxillary muco-gingival transition, and these samples were sent to culture and microbiological identification. Most of the microorganisms found were Gram negative and E.coli was the most frequent, followed by Enterobacter spp, Klebsiella spp, Proteus mirabilis, Citrobacter spp.,Morganella morganii, as well as Gram positive bacteria of the type Staphylococcus spp. The data obtained demonstrated the presence of bacterial strains with potential risk of transmission to other animals kept in the park as well as humans in contact with these animals. Sapajus libidinosus es una especie de primate conocido popularmente como mono capuchino. La cavidad bucal de los monos puede ser patógena para los humanos. Por tanto, el estudio de la microbiota de estas especies es de gran interés en la salud única. El objetivo del presente artículo es realizar un levantamiento de la microbiota oral de la especie Sapajus libidinosus, mantenidos en cautiverio, en el parque Zoobotánico de Teresina. Se utilizaron 10 primates inmovilizados químicamente. Las muestras fueron recolectadas de la mucosa oral junto a la transición muco-gingival maxilar de los animales y encaminados para cultivo e identificación microbiológica. La mayoría de los microorganismos encontrados fueron Gram negativos, siendo E. coli fue la más frecuente, seguida de Enterobacter spp, acompañado por Klebsiella spp, Proteus mirabilis, Citrobacter spp., Morganella morganii, así como bacterias Gram positivas del tipo Staphylococcus spp. Los datos obtenidos demostraron la presencia de cepas bacterianas con riesgo potencial de transmisión a otros animales mantenidos en el parque y también a humanos en contacto con estos animales.
